T k, which serve as guides for the belt. When i a narrower belt is used,guide-plates n are employed,- the plates being reniovably secured totneinner faces of the jaws by bolt-s, E as shown in Fig. 3. lVhile wehave shown i but one set of plates, it is to be understood Belt-Guide,of winch the following is a full, 5 that two or more sets of theseplates are to be clear, and exact description. I provided, so that anychange in the width of he principal objects of our invention are thebelt can be accommodated by changing to so construct a belt-guide as toprevent all =-ti1e plates. When the device is in. use, the wabbling andvibration on the art oftho belt pulls the frame is up into the positionbelt and guide itself also, to sinip ifythe conl shown, and when not inuse this portion of struction and provide a convenient device the devicecan hang downywhere'it will be which will take up little room and becapable out of the way. of construction at a small cost and readily Adevice constructed in accordance. with repaired when injured in anymanner. j the principles herein set forth, whether in the Reference isto be had to the accompany- 1 exact form or not, is much steadier in useing drawings, forming a part of this specificathan those which haveheretofore been contion, in which similar characters of reference Istructed, so far as We are aware, and does indicate corresponding partsin all the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a beltguide, showing the rmciple ofour invention. ig. 2 is a sectiona view of the same on the line 2 2 ofFig. 3. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the same on the line 3 3 of Fig.2, and Fig. -l is a side view of one of the guide-plates.

to which the belt is to To (t/"Z whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, Mosn's EDWIN DE Guns and DONALD C.McA1.IsTER-,'citizens of the United States, and residents of F laxton,in tize county of Ward and State of North Dakota, have invented a newand Improved monly experienced in the use this kind.

Havingthus described our invention, we claim 1. A belt-guide comprisinga support, a plate adjustably mounted thereon, a hangerpivot-allyconnected with the plate, a pulley away with the vibration andwabbling GODlof articles of The pulley be guided mounted in the hanger,a frame pivot-ally is indicated by the letter a, and the belt byconnected with the hanger, and a pulley the letter 6. Upon a stationaryelement, mounted in the frame.

usually a portion of the machine upon which i the pulley a is located,we provide a bracket 0, having a slot 0. On the under side of thisbracket is mounted a plate (1, which is adame pivotally mounted on saidhanger to j us'table longitudinally on the bracket, a bolt swing in avet? ical plane, and a guide-pulley passing throu h the plate and a slot0 in the 1 mounted in the frame. bracket c. The plate d is provided witha 3. A belt-guide comprising a pivotally bearin d, carrying a stud 6,upon whichis mounted hanger, a pulley journaled thereon, pivotallymounted a hanger e by means of a ,i a frame pivotally mounted on thehanger, a rivet or bolt a. This construction allows the I shaft in saidframe, a pair of pulleys on said hanger to turn to keep the parts inalinement shaft, and removable plates mounted on the when the drivingano driven pulleys are out inside of said frame adjacent to the outer ofline. Journaled in this hanger is a hollow j side of said pair ofpulleys. shaft f, provided with headedsscrewsf 4. A belt-guidecomprising a plate, a horiends. On this shaftis mounted a pulley g, Izontal spindle mounted on the plate, a hanger over which the belt 6runs, and on the hanger pivoted on a vertical pivot to the spindle, a isa projection 6 to which is pivoted, by I pulley mounted in the hanger, aframe pitmeans of stud-bolts h, a frame is. This 2 oted to the hanger onhorizontal pivots. and frame is provided with a hollow shaft Z, which aguide-pulley mounted in the frame.

at its ends to liolrlv Abelt-guide comprising a support, a

it in position on the frame is, and it carries a horizontal spindlemounted in the support. a

air of small. pulleys m, under which the belt hanger carried by thespindle, a pulley on the runs. The outer end of the frame k is prohangerj ournaled on a shaft 'atright angles to vided with a pair of imarmy-projecting jaws "1 the spindle on which the hanger is j ournaled 2.A belt guide comprising a hanger mounted to rock and to swing inahorizontal iglans, a pu-llley mounted in said hanger, a

a frame pivoted to the hanger on pivots parallel to the axis of saidpulley, a shaft mounted in the frame parallel to said pulley, and a pairof pulleys on the shaft.

6. A belt guide comprising a pivoted frame guide-pulleys on the frame,and. a pair of removable plates on the opposite mside surfaces of theframe for guiding the belt to the pulleys on the frame.
